Own the Field. Drive the Game Forward.

Are you the kind of person who would rather be out on a field than behind a desk? Do you know turf, equipment, and the people who rely on both to perform at their best? If so, we’re looking for a Territory Sales Manager to take ownership of the Chicagoland market and make an immediate impact.

This isn’t just a sales job—it’s your chance to become a trusted partner to the organizations that keep fields game-ready across the region. From municipalities and school districts to colleges, universities, and sports complexes, you’ll be the expert they rely on to deliver the right equipment and solutions.

  • Prospect, develop, and manage new and existing accounts across your territory
  • Demonstrate commercial turf equipment and recommend tailored solutions
  • Own the full sales cycle—from first conversation to closed deal
  • Prepare accurate quotes, proposals, and follow-ups that win business
  • Deliver exceptional customer service that keeps clients coming back
  • Represent the company at field demos, industry events, and customer sites
  • Operate a company truck and trailer to transport and showcase equipment
  • Travel occasionally (1–2 weeks/year) for training and meetings

What It Takes

  • 2–4 years of experience in the golf, turf, or sports fields & grounds industry
  • Proven ability to build relationships and close deals
  • Strong communication, organization, and follow-through
  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage your own territory
  • Tech-savvy with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • Valid driver’s license with the ability to obtain a DOT medical card.
  • Ability to safely transport equipment and spend significant time on the road

What Sets You Apart

  • Degree in Turfgrass Management, Business, Agriculture, Horticulture, Sports Management, or related field
  • Experience in commercial equipment or turf equipment sales
  • A passion for the industry and the people who make it run

Physical Requirements

  • This is a hands-on role. You’ll be actively demonstrating equipment and working in the field.
  • Lift and move 50–75 lbs. occasionally
  • Load/unload equipment and operate trailer ramps

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • A helpful, tight-knit team
  • Room to grow and take ownership
  • A role where every day makes a difference

If you’re driven, knowledgeable, and ready to take ownership of a territory with real growth potential, we want to hear from you.
